Penny's Story...

Penny's Story...

Penny is a female Great Dane. Her date of birth is 9/24/15, so she is 13 months old. She was an owner surrender to Critter Camp, and brought to Amarillo SPCA, in hopes of finding a forever home. A dog like Penny needs lots of space. She is crate trained, housebroken, and sleeps in a crate at night. Penny plays hard and kind of rough; gets along best with smaller dogs but needs to be fed separately. She is a big eater, so that's something you would need to consider if adopting. Penny hasn't been around cats. We don't know about children, but older children would be the better match for this extra large dog. Penny is a beautiful girl with a shiny coat of black (a bit of white on the chest). An experienced owner is recommended. If interested, please call the Amarillo SPCA at 806-622-0555, or visit the shelter at 11901 S. Coulter.

About Our Shelter...

The Amarillo SPCA is a 501(c)3 non profit organization. We operate solely on donations and fundraisers.

Presently, we operate a shelter for dogs and cats. We have approximately 100 animals housed at the shelter and in foster care.

One of our main concerns is pet over population. It is important that the public be educated about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. It is also our goal to make sure every animal that is adopted from the SPCA is sterilized before going to a new home.

We receive calls daily from people who request help with their animals--either needing to give them up or asking for help with food and medical needs. We help whenever we can, but financially we're not able to help often.

We have grown to the extent that volunteers alone cannot provide necessary hours for operating the kennels. We have a shelter manager and other part time employees for the care of the animals and maintenance of our facility.

Costs for our facility include payroll for these employees, good quality food for the animals, heat and air conditioning, medical treatment for sickness or injury. Additional costs for the animals always include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and sterilization before leaving the shelter to go to new homes. Our vet bills are high and frequently expenses are far more than the adoption fee of $100. Therefore donations are hugely appreciated! We look forward to your contribution and particularly to your interest in one of our dogs or cats as a permanent companion.
